The Cowherdess, Eragny

Camille Pissarro

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a pencil drawing of a woman standing with her back to the viewer. The woman has dark hair pulled into a bun and wears a long dress with long sleeves. The dress appears to be gathered at the waist and has a sash or belt around it. Her right hand holds a long, thin object, possibly a stick or rod, at her side. The background is a light beige color with some darker spots and marks. The artist's initials "C.P." are in the bottom-right corner. The paper appears aged, with rough edges and some discoloration. The image is titled "The Cowherdess, Eragny". The drawing style is simple and impressionistic. The overall tone is subdued and muted.
